Heart disease is common in Louisiana, and our primary care providers are
skilled in identifying and managing some of the most common heart disease
risk factors: high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and smoking.
They can help you avoid devastating consequences of heart disease, such
as heart attack and stroke.
But when your heart does need more intensive care, our cardiologists can
detect and treat heart and vascular conditions, including:
The best way to treat a heart attack or heart condition is to prevent it
from happening in the first place. The problem is, many heart conditions
cause symptoms, such as fatigue, that can be hard to tie to a specific problem.
Our facilities have advanced screening and diagnostic capabilities to identify
early warning signs of conditions that can potentially be fatal.
Coronary calcium scores can help us identify your risk of a future heart attack.
Ultrasounds use sound waves to create pictures of your heart, arteries and blood vessels
to identify blockages that could lead to serious problems.
Electrophysiology studies provide valuable data about your heart’s electrical activity.
Don’t ignore potential problems. If you have symptoms that seem unusual,
talk to your primary care provider about a referral to an LCMC Health
cardiologist for screening.
When it comes to treating heart attacks, you can trust that LCMC Health
emergency rooms are equipped to deliver the lifesaving care you need within
minutes of your arrival.
For other forms of heart disease, however, there are no one-size-fits-all
solutions. Our cardiology teams make sure that the treatments we provide
fit you and your lifestyle and allow your heart to regain function so
you can enjoy a better quality of life. Our expert cardiovascular and
vascular surgeons specialize in advanced procedures, such as:
Aneurysm repair
Heart transplant
Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator procedures
Stenting and angioplasty to open blocked arteries
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement

It takes time to get back to daily life after a heart attack or heart surgery.
And if you’ve been diagnosed with heart failure or another heart
condition, you’ll need help adapting to the medications and lifestyle
changes necessary to manage your condition.
Our medically supervised cardiac rehab programs guide people with heart
conditions and those recovering from a serious cardiac event or procedure
through a two- or three-phase program. Each phase involves nurses, therapists
and exercise specialists who educate you about your condition or recovery
needs, teach you exercises designed just for you and help you maintain
a healthy lifestyle long after you leave the hospital. We’re with
you every step of the way.
You should talk to your primary care provider about a referral if you experience
unusual symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizzy spells, or
unexplained fatigue. It is also a great idea to see a cardiologist if
you have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or high
cholesterol.
Heart disease can be tricky, but common warning signs include chest discomfort,
shortness of breath, pain in your neck, jaw, or back, and extreme fatigue.
If you feel something is off, do not ignore it. Listen to your body and
reach out to us right away.
We treat problems both large and small! Our expert team handles atrial
fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), congestive heart failure, coronary
artery disease, heart valve disease, peripheral vascular disease, and
venous disease.

program. You will learn safe exercises, get advice on heart-healthy nutrition,
and receive valuable emotional support. It is all about helping you regain
your physical strength and your confidence.
